Solution

The correct options are
A Water occupies space
C Air occupies space
D Only one matter can occupy space at any one time
As Meena pushed the bottle, the water level in the bottle increases, and the air present in the bottle gets pushed into the tube which is bubbled out from the beaker. This experiment proves that air and water occupy some space and only one matter can occupy space at any one time.
